Who Should Attend

This summit is designed for ASNT volunteers who want to strengthen their leadership impact and contribute meaningfully to the Society’s work. Whether you’re stepping into a leadership role or have years of volunteer experience, you’ll find space to connect, collaborate, and move initiatives forward.

Council Leaders

This is your first in-person opportunity to align as a council. Build relationships across groups, connect on shared priorities, and turn goals into clear next steps. The connections and plans formed at VLS will shape your council’s work throughout the year.

  • Align on council priorities and translate goals into actionable next steps.

  • Build strong working relationships across groups for year-round collaboration.

  • Establish a foundation for your council’s structure, focus, and impact.

Section Leaders

Engage with peers facing similar challenges, share proven approaches, and exchange ideas that strengthen and sustain your local section. Use this time to build connections, gain practical insights, and leave with strategies you can apply right away.

  • Share challenges and learn proven solutions from other section leaders.

  • Exchange practical ideas to strengthen member engagement and operations.

  • Build connections that support ongoing collaboration and success.
